Ending of employment

An employment at EECS can end when the agreed-upon time-limited contract ends. An employment can also end if the employee chooses to end it by requesting to terminate their employment. If a time-limited employment is about to end, you as an employee will recieve a notice from the school if your employment has lasted for more than a year. 

If you as an employee chooses to terminate your employment, you need to send in a request of termination. You will find the document on KTH's central web pages . 

The document must then be sent to your HR contact  at EECS who will register your request with KTH's salary division.
